Hither all her desires, thither my fires, Balancing both, burden became my life. In hope of love I walked with wilderness, Breathe in, breathe out, mundane became my life. For an excuse to smile, I just shed tears, Crematorium’s cauldron became my life. You came to my world, to a wrong address, To blessings beholden became my life. Flowers vie with thorns...

In life’s fierce storms, I stand, my heart’s own mission, No wound can pierce me without my permission. The world may rage, its arrows sharp and swift, Yet I decide if pain gains my admission. Words like daggers, thrown with cruel intent, Fall harmless when denied my heart’s submission. For I am sovereign of my soul’s domain, No trespasser can breach without...

A crystal clear imprint this life, Still, true story’s false hint this life. Life of great possibilities Lived only ten percent, this life. Sheer look that murders and gives life, What a romantic hint this life! A beauty spot--her soft black mole, Yet, no less than a flint this life. It lets a thousand flowers bloom Ah with a distinct tint this life. A flip...

If desert-lands of remorse can be crossed ahead, enough, Cage deemed as open sky, if my wings can be spread, enough. Yon, when the winking sky is found willing to welcome me, If just half-closed window can be all-ajar made, enough. To set foot-tracks on hills,...

Wiping own tears who made me smile were you, Who never let my sorrows pile were you. In a house haunting where I lived alone, Who even made loneliness smile were you. Few bother broods like me in busy world, To my life’s lamp who supplied oil were you. I recall playing as children long back, One that let...

New kid lost in a new world, when separated from what was known and loved, alone when separated. Some animals regrow lost parts of themselves: twisted limbs or tail. Parasites die without another to depend on. They die when separated. Barnacularly reaching out to anyone who will notice, with bird-like wails, desperate to be seen, to survive, before it is...

They think they’re Keats and Frost of time, Some pen-pushers are frost in time. All they pen, not but passing rhyme, Is set sail, a big boast in time, Which, all of self-promoted stuff Gathers black and white dust in time. Let some prayers be said for them: Their footprints last on coast in time. Heart wishes well, head less than least, I...

Some wishes must wait all the time, Life’s still such a bait all the time. Grapes never go sour all the time, Not tongues’, it’s mind’s trait all the time. Strange, two souls under the same roof Live a life of hate all the time. Trust between two suffers some times, Endurance abates all the time. Ghazals would do well often times If...

All have hassles their own, All with own fate upset, With whom to pour my heart? Under roof-- one common All suffer self-sown fate, With whom to pour my heart? Sad tales, not so unknown, They all seem to narrate, With whom to pour my heart? No one is left alone If we search, sort, ferret, With whom...

Gham-e-Ishq Mein Haara Hua Panchhi Main apnon ka maara hua panchhi Raahay manzil ka pata aik shikari se pooch ke Main aik naye pinjray mein phansaya hua panchhi Meri hurmat ka imtihan hai, aur daanay hain kam Main maalik ka sataya hua panchhi Chaar din ki hai zindagi, teen...

Lesser as I cried softer felt my pain, When muffled loud sobs soother felt my pain. With a power-saw I cut me into two, Gave me solace, the succour soothed my pain. Dwelling on my hurt and its remedies, Ever the more severe felt my pain. Yea, like a dog I chewed on painful bone, Like a piece of...

raah-e-amn mein akshar khaaiyaan banaate hain pyaar karne waalon mein dooriyaan banaate hain aao ham gale milkar maat den siyaasat ko jo bhi faasle apne darmiyaan banaate hain zaalimon bhala kaise tum hamein ujaadoge ham to vo hain jo dil mein bastiyaan banaate hain haq bayaan karne se ham kabhi nahin darte gaur se ye sun len jo bediyaan banaate hain pur-sukoon hote...
